"We have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years, & it has been consistent the whole time. Everything there is utter perfection. The food is ALWAYS AMAZING! The wait staff is & has always been VERY welcoming, friendly & make you feel at home. Highly recommend."
"Just had a business lunch at El Taco Real and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. If you're on the hunt for an affordable, high-quality Mexican meal in town, this is the spot to hit. The food was nothing short of excellent. I opted for The Works enchilada dinner with pork, and it was a delight to the palate. The pork was tender and well-seasoned, making each bite a flavorful adventure. It's clear they take their time to prepare their food with care, and it shows in the taste and presentation. The service was commendable. Our server was incredibly attentive, ensuring our glasses were always full and the table was kept tidy. It's the little things like these that can elevate a dining experience from good to great, and El Taco Real certainly delivers on that front. In a nutshell, El Taco Real proved to be a great choice. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and affordable prices makes it a win-win for anyone looking for a quality Mexican meal. I'll definitely be recommending this place to colleagues and friends alike."
"Food and service was excellent. First time eating here and wasn't disappointed. Nice atmosphere."
"This place is not it for chicken tacos. The chicken taste as if it was boiled in water with a little salt. There was no garlic, onion, or cumin taste; it was like eating hospital food.. They didn’t even take the time to put the corn tortilla on the grill. The “salsa” was just a red tomato sauce, no cilantro, no onions, just tomato sauce. The only thing that was good was the rice, and the beans were okay."
